Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for adjusting the torque transmitted by a friction clutch, comprising an actuator chain consisting of an electric motor, a reduction gear and a mechanism for converting the rotary movement into a displacement of a pressure plate of the clutch.
- Friction clutches with adjustable transmitted torque are used, for example, in drive trains of motor vehicles, in particular all-wheel drive motor vehicles, as a differential lock or for engaging an axle drive.
- the torque transmitted is continuously variable according to driving dynamics requirements by means of a control or control device.
- High torques to be transmitted require considerable contact forces and thus actuation forces, further increased by the presence of a return spring which acts in the opening direction.
- the torque of the electric motor is amplified by a reduction gear and converted into an axial actuation force acting on the friction clutch by means of a mechanism.
- the mechanisms are ramp rings with or without balls, cams or other mechanisms.
- EP-A-368140 uses a worm gear with friction as a reduction gear and generates an alternating load in the mechanism to overcome friction hysteresis effects and to reduce the frictional forces.
- WO 91/12152 and also in US 4,976,347 low-friction spur gears and relatively stiff transmission mechanisms are used as reduction gears.
- a disadvantage of these control methods is that they can only be used with a low friction hysteresis of the reduction gear and the mechanism. Therefore spur gears are used, but their reduction is limited.
- the characteristic curve for the power reduction are clearly in the positive range so that an exact setting is possible at all.
- the accuracy of the setting is impaired by the fact that the relationship between the moment of the electric motor and the transmitted torque changes, in particular due to: - different friction conditions in the actuation chain (temperature fluctuations, run-in effects, transition from static friction to sliding friction, and - different force of the clutch Return spring (manufacturing tolerances, clutch clearance)
- the entire actuator chain from the electric motor up to and including the mechanism, has to be optimized in the known systems with regard to minimal friction hysteresis, which usually requires small reduction and a relatively large motor, but in any case causes additional costs and also has the disadvantage that To maintain a high transmitted clutch torque, a high motor current must flow continuously. As this operating state normally leads to thermal overloading of the motor, an electromagnetically operated motor brake is necessary, which causes additional costs and negatively influences the dynamic behavior of the actuator chain, since the brake must be released each time before the torque adjustment begins. When using a reduction gear with self-locking worm Although a brake is not required, its characteristic curve for the loss of power is so deep in the negative range that it is out of the question for this reason.
- a device is characterized in that a) the electric motor and / or reduction gear is / are subject to friction, b) that the mechanism for implementation and / or the friction clutch itself is / are subject to elasticity, and c) that for adjusting the torque of the friction clutch with the electric motor operatively connected positioner and a sensor determining the position of one of the links of the actuator chain is provided, d) for which the sensor is arranged at a point which lies in the direction of the force flow before a substantial part of the elasticity.
- the friction clutch is thus not controlled by controlling the "force" exerted by the electric motor, but rather by means of a position control.
- this detour according to the invention eliminates the disadvantages of the known systems, in particular bypassing the friction hysteresis.
- the links of the actuator chain and the actuating force - and thus the transmitted torque - of the friction clutch is namely for the control tion is particularly suitable because the mechanical actuator chain and in particular the friction clutch itself always have a certain elastic flexibility. It also gives the characteristic curve the slope required for precise control.
- the invention accomplishes the "miracle" of controlling a friction-prone system without friction hysteresis.
- the invention further relates to a method for adjusting the torque transmitted by a friction clutch by means of an actuator chain, consisting of an electric motor that shifts a pressure plate of the clutch via a reduction gear and a mechanism for converting the rotary movement into a shift.
- the electric motor is controlled according to one of the usual power control methods for setting the transmitted torque, with the disadvantages explained above.
- a desired position of a link of the actuator chain is determined from the torque (M so n) to be transmitted by the friction clutch and set by means of a position controller acting on the electric motor (claim 6).
- the link is a shaft of the reduction gear or the electric motor and the desired position is a desired angle of rotation (claim 8).
- a classic position control method for example using a PID controller, can be used to set the actual angle of rotation of the electric motor to the desired angle of rotation. However, this only reacts to the dynamic conditions in the actuator chain by detouring via the controlled variable. However, it is also possible to approach the new position with the highest possible positioning speed when the actual rotation angle is set to the desired rotation angle and, with the accompanying calculation of the braking distance, to decelerate in good time beforehand to a standstill in the desired position.
- the characteristic curve is calibrated or calibrated at least when starting up for the first time. This is desirable because the characteristic curve can vary due to manufacturing tolerances and shift due to wear, especially in the direction of the coordinate axis of the motor rotation angle. This can also be useful at certain intervals during the operating life, then the characteristic curve is re-calibrated at certain time intervals (claim 1 1). For the calibration of the characteristic curve, the method according to claim 9 is particularly simple and nevertheless precise.
- the at least one first calibration point is used to measure the motor current in order to overcome the return spring. Since the slope of the characteristic curve is known and essentially unchangeable, a first calibration point is sufficient. Restoring forces of the clutch itself already occur in the second calibration point; the associated motor current is measured so that the motor current relevant for the clutch torque is obtained. Because the second calibration point is in the range of a small clutch torque, errors have only a minor effect. Also have offset errors in the current measurement, tolerances of the return spring, basic friction etc. no influence on the accuracy, because they are eliminated by subtracting the values obtained from the first two calibration points.
- the 0-point of the angle of rotation can be defined from the start by actuating the electric motor in the "open clutch” direction up to a fixed stop.
- a refinement of the calibration method to achieve maximum accuracy is that the three calibration points are calibration intervals over which the motor current is integrated, then the change in the kinetic energy of the actuator chain is subtracted in the calibration interval and divided by the width of the interval (claim 10) ,
- FIG. 1 a section through an application example of a friction clutch with the device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 a diagram of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 4 a map used according to the prior art
- FIG. 5 a diagram of the calibration of the characteristic of FIG. 3.
- the housing of a transfer case is designated overall by 1, an input shaft coming from the drive unit of the vehicle, not shown, by 2, one drivingly connected to the rear axle.
- the second output shaft 4 drives by means of a first toothed sprocket 5 a second toothed sprocket 6 under the input shaft 2, which sits on an output shaft 7 for driving the front axle.
- a differential gear 10 is provided. Furthermore, a control unit 11 is provided under the differential gear 10 and a locking clutch 12 for locking the differential gear 10.
- the lock-up clutch is structurally combined with the differential gear 10. But it could also be arranged separately, or even somewhere else in the transfer case or in the drive train.
- the differential gear itself can also be designed very differently within the scope of the invention.
- Fig. 1 is also an example and special design of the differential gear can be seen.
- the differential housing 16 which also serves as a planet carrier here, there is a sun gear 17 connected to the input shaft 2 in a rotationally fixed manner, planet gears 18 of the off-road gear rotatably mounted in the differential housing 16, as well as first differential gears 21 and second differential gears 22 first output shaft 3 and second (22) are rotatably connected to the second output shaft 4.
- the differential housing 16 is surrounded by a ring gear 19 which is axially displaceable and non-rotatably connected to the differential housing 16 in the off-road gear.
- the locking clutch 12 is also shown in detail. It is a friction clutch, consists of a clutch housing 26, which with the Differential housing 16 is firmly connected or is even in one piece here, a clutch inner part 27 which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the second output shaft 4, a disk set 28 and a pressure plate 29 which is acted upon by return springs 30 in the opening direction. Between the pressure plate 29 and the second output shaft, here in particular the first sprocket 5 seated thereon, two rings 31, 32 are arranged. Between these rings 31, 32 there are balls 33 in corresponding circumferential grooves.
- the two rings 31, 32 stand still when the clutch is not actuated. Both rings 31, 32 are therefore mounted on needle bearings 34 for rotational decoupling.
- the first ring 31 has a first ramp lever 35, the second ring 32 a second one (36), which are firmly connected at one end to the ring, project downwards and have free ends 37, 38 rollers 39. Between the two rollers 39 there is a rotatable control disc 40. When this control disc is rotated, the rollers 39 are moved apart and the rings 31, 32 are rotated relative to one another via the scissor-like ramp levers 35, 36.
- the entire actuator chain consists of a controllable electric motor 45 with an armature shaft 48, a reduction gear 42 consisting of a worm wheel 43 and a worm 44, and a mechanism for converting the rotating movement of the output shaft 41 of the reduction gear 42 in a translational movement of the pressure plate 29 (Fig. 1).
- This mechanism consists of the output shaft 41 with the control disk 40 mounted thereon in a rotationally fixed manner and the rings 31, 32 with their levers 35, 36.
- the reduction gear 42 is a worm gear with the inherent high internal friction. However, it could also be a transmission of a different type, which is optionally provided with an additional friction element.
- the output shaft 41, the levers 35, 36 and / or parts of the friction clutch 12 themselves are elastic. Since they are connected in series, their elasticities add up, so that the mechanism is flexible overall. If that is not enough, individual elements can be dimensioned accordingly or additional elastic elements can be provided.
- a sensor 46 which is designed as an incremental encoder and measures the angle of rotation of the armature shaft, is arranged on the armature shaft 48 of the electric motor 45.
- the sensor 46 can also be arranged as a sensor 46 ′ on the output shaft 41. It is essential that the major part of the elasticity is arranged after it in the direction of the force flow.
- the sensor 46 provides a position controller 47 with a signal which here corresponds to the angle of rotation ( ⁇ , st ) of the armature shaft 48.
- the torque (Md SO ⁇ ) to be transmitted from the friction clutch is used to make a set angle of rotation ( ⁇ so n) based on a characteristic curve 49 and a control signal for the electric motor from the difference between ( ⁇ soM ) and ( ⁇ actual ) 45 formed.
- the characteristic curve decisive for the control according to the invention can be seen.
- the one to be transmitted by the coupling is on the ordinate Torque plotted, the corresponding angle of rotation ( ⁇ ) of the armature shaft on the abscissa.
- ⁇ the corresponding angle of rotation of the armature shaft
- the characteristic curve 49 is an unambiguous and continuous curve which is partially approximated by a straight line.
- Fig. 5 shows the scheme of the calibration.
- the electric motor is actuated in the "release clutch” direction until a mechanical stop is reached. This position, in which the motor stands despite the current being supplied, is defined as the zero point for the angle of rotation. This point corresponds to that in FIGS. 3 and 5 x-axis.
- the motor is then driven in the “close clutch” direction and with a motor voltage that is certainly sufficient to build up a small clutch torque. This is shown in FIG. 5 as straight line 56.
- Motor current and angle of rotation are measured and for the calibration of characteristic curve 49 three calibration points, motor current and angle of rotation are measured.
- the calibration points are replaced by calibration intervals 47, 58, 60 to achieve particularly high accuracy.
- the current is integrated over the respective interval (this corresponds to the energy added to the system), then the change in the kinetic energy of the actuator chain is subtracted in the respective interval and divided by the width of the interval.
- the integration increases the accuracy of the measurement and also eliminates the influence of the non-uniformity of the engine torque over the angle of rotation.
- the motor current is determined in the manner described above. It is the motor current 61 that is required to overcome the restoring forces and the restoring spring. By subtracting the current 62 required for the return spring alone, which is obtained by extending the straight line 56 results in the motor current required for the transmitted clutch torque. From this, the clutch torque in the calibration interval 60 is calculated from the difference between the motor currents 61 and 62, multiplied by a known factor, which is constant in favorable cases. This coupling torque and the angle of rotation at which it occurs are now transferred from the diagram in FIG. 5 to the characteristic curve 49 in FIG. 3. This results in point 65 and since the slope of the characteristic does not change, the corrected characteristic 65, shown in broken lines in FIG. 3.
- This calibration or calibration method can also be used if it is not the angle of rotation of the armature shaft or another shaft that is used, but the position of another link.
